"I'm guessing this is who we were trying to avoid," Gin asked Remilia, the duo keeping their eyes on the new arrival.
"Yup, looks like we couldn't avoid it after all," Remilia answered.
Gin made a quick glance to his left, and saw more of the creatures arriving from the city. With the way the monster in front of them acted, Gin figured it was a leader of sorts for the horde. It would explain why it had a unique weapon ad the other didn't. But Gin couldn't help but feel like he'd seen this one before, in fact he felt like it had been a recent encounter. Had his short exposure to the infected omnillium affected him more than he had thought? Other explanations came and went in his mind, however the truth soon came to light. "I remember now, she was on the plane," Gin said in a worried tone of voice.
"Doesn't matter, we have more pressing issues to deal with," Remilia reminded him.
"Right, any more escape plans?" Gin asked.
Remilia surveyed the area, and settled her eyes on a near by loading dock that stretched out into the ocean. "This way!" She yelled.
Just as the duo began their sprint for the docks, the leader ghoul leapt from its perch and gave chase. Its allies followed suit and weaved through the maze of crates towards their new prey. The leader soon caught up with the duo, and prepared to swing with its sword. The ghoul then felt its body crash full force into a hard green surface, which caused it to stumble and trip over itself as the object shattered.
"Ha, I knew those platforms were a good idea." Gin mumbled joyfully. That had bought them some time from facing the leader, but the others were still hot on their heels. Once they reached the middle of the dock, the duo turned to face the enemy. There was less than Gin was expecting, but still enough to pose a threat if they were left unchecked. He looked back over to the leader, they had finally righted themselves and resumed the chase. They wouldn't have very long before she joined the fray. He looked over at Remilia and saw her move a level on a nearby console. Before he could ask what she was doing, the horde was upon them. Remilia's claws and wings easily tore through the flesh of the oncoming ghouls, leaving Gin free to finish them off with his shield powers. Limbs flew in every direction as the duo slayed more and more members of the mindless horde. As the two were pushed back to the nearby crane, an ear-piercing screech filled the air, and the horde paused its attack. The remaining ghouls stood aside as the leader shambled forward, intent on taking the two on herself.
Seeing the girl this close, Gin was sure she had been on the plane. The girl was no doubt somehow corrupted by the island's omnillium in the same way the towns people were. The way Gin surely would have earlier if he absorbed that ingot and followed the voices. But if she was from the plane, then the transformation had to be recent. Gin had to try and appeal to whatever humanity was left to fight back against the presence. "Hey, you were on the plane too right? I know you're not in control, whatever's in the omnillium here has changed you somehow. But it's not too late! Fight it! You can still get control back!" He yelled at the ghoul.
The ghoul hesitated for a moment, the hand that held its sword trembled for a second before it calmed down. The ghoul then charged at Gin, and swung its sword.
"Gin, it's no use! Get back!" Remilia yelled.
Gin barley managed to side-step in time to escape with just a shallow gash on his left side. "Alright, if that's how it's gotta be," he mumbled. As the ghoul readjusted for another swing, Gin charged her with a shield fist followed by a shield kick. "THEN WAKE THE FUCK UP" He yelled.
